008.01 Transition Planning

008.01A Pursuant to 480 NAC 10, if a toddler with a disability may be eligible for preschool services under 92 NAC 51, the services coordinator, with the approval of the family of the toddler, convenes a conference, among the family, and the school district or approved cooperative not fewer than 90 days, and, at the discretion of all parties, not more than 9 months, before the toddler's third birthday to discuss any services the toddlers may receive under 92 NAC 51; and

008.01B If the school district or approved cooperative determines that a toddler with a disability is not potentially eligible for services under Part B of IDEA, the services coordinator, pursuant to 480 NAC 10 with the approval of the family of that toddler, makes reasonable efforts to convene a conference among the family, and providers of other appropriate services for the toddler to discuss appropriate services that the toddler may receive.

008.02 Any child served pursuant to 92 NAC 52 has the right, at any time, to receive FAPE, if qualified, (as that term is defined at 92 NAC 52-003.07 ) under 92 NAC 51 instead of FAPE early intervention services under 92 NAC 52.

008.03 School districts and approved cooperatives shall continue to provide all FAPE early intervention services identified in the toddler with a disability's IFSP under 92 NAC 52-007 (and consented to by the parent under 92 NAC 52-007.02E ) beyond age three until that toddler begins receiving services under 92 NAC 51. This provision does not apply if the school district or approved cooperative has requested parental consent for an evaluation under 92 NAC 51-009.08 and the parent has not provided that consent.

008.04 For toddlers with disabilities age three and older, the school district or approved cooperative shall ensure a smooth transition to preschool by:

008.04A Participating in a transition conference, between the parents and the school district or approved cooperative, not fewer than 90 days and, at the discretion of all parties, not more than 9 months before the child will no longer be eligible to receive, or no longer receives, FAPE early intervention services under this section, to discuss any services that the child may receive under 92 NAC 51; and

008.04B Establishing a transition plan in the IFSP not fewer than 90 days and, at the discretion of all parties, not more than 9 months before the child will no longer be eligible to receive, or no longer receives FAPE early intervention services under this section.
